Hmmmmm, resources roll out of town and are demobilized - still no arrests ! WTF!
That may change when the DNA results come back. When they start trying to round people up though they may not be able to find them.
I suppose you wait to arrest people until you have finished your investigation....
susie
This whole disparity between the numbers of the boys and girls found on the ranch is a huge issue, getting little press. Yes, it seems that many of the girls suffered greatly, but what of the boys? Why is the whole nation not aghast that of 400+ children seized, only 20 some were boys?
I keep hearing about all the boys being booted out of the camp when they reach puberty, and yes, that's disturbing enough. But what about all the prepubescent boys? Where are all the 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 11, and 12 year old boys? Certainly there should be more than 20 some of boys in those age categories, even if all the teen boys are kicked out.
I’ve been thinking the same. I wonder how many are up in Canada already....
What are the possibilities that little boys were all sent off somewhere else? Certainly more than 20 were born out of 400.

Well the wheels of criminal justice turn slowly it seems. But on another note John Ford has reported to a federal prison in Pollock LA to start his 5 1/2 yr sentence.
If anyone can find the info, please post a link here.
Thanks deport..quite a difference in the 14-17 age group, huh?
I wonder why they didn't want to go back?
Exactly,
lets see....treated like humans with a bit of respect and the food is probably better too.
Plus, maybe they also want to stay and protect the younger ones too.
Notice they start disappearing in the 10-13 age group. Some escapees have said that boys are thrown out on the street with absolutely no skills before they even hit their teens.
Well, Jeffs picked the inhabitants of the Eldorado compound from among his “elites”, according to reports...he would hardly send boys over to the “Virgin Ranch” IMO. It has been reported that there are children that were either taken from or given by their parents for that purpose. SICK!
I just noticed....”In before the pictures of the nekkid bunny women”!
My thoughts...if they were allowed to stay til maturity (for them 18) at the yfz...then I wonder (hope I am wrong) but these two young men may be ‘chosen ones’ who were not abandoned at 14 or 15. So maybe they are using their ‘leadership’ skills and keeping the younger boys in spiritual line...and act in absentia for their ‘fathers.’ I hope I’ wrong and you’re right...
